There you'll find the last remains of the previous "RolePostingThread"
Maybe you can extract the gist of it from that.
To me , an example always works better that just a description.
(And yes: I did adjust the guidelines a little...)

Cardogan :
So you're that other Sorc , eh?
Good thing , I haven't found that sheet yet ; Now I can just make anything else out of him.(And edit the introduction , for that matter; Still no impact on the story)

Gralhruk: Obvious a fighter-type , but which one exactly?

Cappucina: Nothing mean meant here , but would you like a few tips on "writing-stile-development"? Your style is rather "list-like",with all the "she does...she goes....she says..." etc. The content is good though.

And to all: Don't bother posting stuff like Alignment etc if you think it's more fun to express it in the story.

Aw. Mainly my posts are actions and reactions. I'm no plot developer - I just play a character. Kind of selfish ones too. I think that is what I am best at. I see what you are saying though. You want some flaring up of my flair.

Let me take you through my though processes. Life for a halfing is tough. I have to take you through a laundry list of things I must do to compensate for my size just to see things from your tall perspectives and respond to your posts. So, now that I finally can see amongst the crowd with out all the legs blocking my sight, I can describe the ambiance of the bar.

Oh hey. Never worry about calling me on anything. At first I thought your "need a lesson" comment was pretty harsh, but I smiled at it anyway. I have incredibly thick skin and I think highly of myself, so criticize my writing style all you like. It just gives me stuff to think about.

I did think about it. And I will try to adapt a little better to not having a DM and work in more descriptive styles. More adjectives like.

Heheh.. Cappucina: Just tried to be helpful.
I really didn't mean to be harsh on you , or "teach you a lesson".
If I were up to that , I could easily have just edited your post , to get the point through.
And yes : I know , an action like that would cut this game short very fast.
Not my intention.....

Ah....
You've read my edit to the guidelines.
Then you've also read that itsy-bitsy phrase : "No problems so far.."

I just was reminded , I should've included it in the first place.
So many First-Time Free-Formers here... I almost forgot , that the first RPT was my initiation to free-forming.

I'm sure more thingies like this will need to be added to "the Rules" , that I haven't thought of/remembered.
But remember : they're only guidelines , not set in stone and such...
Basically , Free-Form depends entirely on mature behaviour , common sense and respect for the other players.(But feel free to screw over their plot-ideas )

Note: In FF all players have equal say in all matters. I just initiated this game. (And got mod-status to take care of possible "Jokers" that try to screw over the game.)

This is cool guys. I hope you don't mind if I join you. Later today I should be able to post a character sheet for Elanor. She works in the town magic shop - or one of the town magic shops; I don't know how big this town is!

I had an idea, by the way. Whenever somebody posts a description of a place - like Cappucina's description of the inn - you should copy it to a special thread. That way, when somebody wants to see what the place is like, they won't have to go searching back through all the old game posts.

I also hope to post a little description of Caledon's shop sometime soon.

Elanor, Loved your post. I see you have a dilemna about how big the town is. I think that it is however big you want it to be - you just write it up, or someone else may beat you to it, and then that is how big the town is.

Exactly.
Keep in mind though ; this is a frontier-town/fortress , as per description in my initial post. Those can harbour quite a few different thingies , while other stuff , normal in "common " towns/cities will be unavailable , or even unheard of.
The mountainous area , it's situated in (I came to town from a mountainpass) also tends to limit its dimensions.
Just a few hints.
Elanor , being a citizen of this town , however , appears to be most entitled to make up a description.

Thanks Cap for the compliment. I was going to say that I love er, Cappucina - your halfling, that is. (It's weird having our character names the same as our board names!) She is a pretty cool little chick. But I usually like all your characters.

Hmmmm, frontier town. Probably smaller than I thought it was. I was thinking along the lines of a Waterdeep type city, I guess. But that's OK. This can be a branch of Caledon's Magick Shoppe. He mostly stocks spell components and oddities. Plus a few magic items of his own invention, like fire cones.
